Yellow Fever i'm Florida.
FUGITIvES FROM TAMPA SPREAD ALARM THROUGHOUT
THE PENINSULA.

General Superintendent Nash, Of the Railway
Mail Service, has received The following report
from Division superintendent Turnet, at Atlanta
Ga, whom he ordered to Florida some time ago to
rearrange the mail service, made necessary by the
appearance OF yellow fever at Tampa:
'On my recent visit to Florida went to within Q
lew miles OF Tampa, and endeavored to get such
facts as would enable me to give an Intelligent
opinion as to the future effect on the mail service
Sy as yellow fever a. Tampa Fla At ,s either
disposition TO suppress the facts, no announce
ment was made OF the yellow fever at Tampa until
VINO had been subjected to the possibility Of inlec,
tion had scattered themselves throughout the
state. Not knowing whore these fug1Iives are, It
unseen danger which has caused widespread
alarm. But there seems TO have been two well
authenticated cases where fugit1ves have had the
Paatka and one at Interlachen. There are rumOrs
OF good many more cases, but none are authentic.
seems 70 De taken for granted That fifteen days
the persons who have been exposed to the
yellow FEVER have not contracted the dis
ease. As IT has been eight days since the
have expired within u week. There is reason.
therefore, to believe unless the fugitiyes have
scattered the disease within that time, that there
the infected district has been surrounded by
Gordon OF guards, which makes 1t practically i'm
possible for any one TO escape thereIrom; and be-
LEV there Will be no spread OF the disease from
Tampa OF course, at Interlachen and PalaLka
the quarantine will be kept up Tor the full fifteen
days from the date OF the death OF the two fugt-
tives at those points. After that time there win
be no reason for It's continuance, unless the fever
should deyelOpe at those points Ihave tnfOrma-
ton from Postmaster Harrison, OF Palatka, and
Larnerd, which satisfies me that
this Is not likely 70 happen. think, except as to
Tampa, within two weeks the trouble Will be
over"
Surgeon-General Hamilton has received tele-
gram from Deputy-COllector Spencer, at Tampa,
saying that there were eight new cases and Two
deaths Saturday, and that up to the 21St there
have been $50 cases and 25 deaths renorted

ceive come papers from the diving
men, Ballard end Parks. Parts OF the
ashes and debris now to be seen at the
place of the collision are full OF bones,
remains of iewelry and melted silver
money. Ten of the killed are utterly
unknown. An I'D gentleman named
Ferguson, Of Bloomdale, left Pitts

night looking among the burned
masses and sshes to fBd some thing by
which TO identify one OF the b'aC k

Senica county has not yet begun a
regular examination OF the witnesses.
The blame seems to be with the crew

OF rules, which, If approved, will give
them supervision and control for the
first time of all examinations, appoint
ments and promotions in the CustomF
service at the port Of New YORK.
Promotions there now are governed
by what are known as the Hayes
rules. The new regulations in the
hands of the President are tho result
of an investigation made by Commits
sioner Oberly several weeks ago, anc
If adopted will change the existing
practice in the following particulars
l, They will make examinations To-
promotion compulsory instead OF op
tional.
Q Under the proposed rules The

that after any person has entered tn
service he shall be required TO pa
Q examinations for promotion to eac
succeeding higher grade until tn
fourth class is attained, which include
employees OF the custom house Iecei'
ing salaries of from $500 to $1,000.
